happy ny marathon!
hope all those runners remembered to fall back this morning...
Interesting Marathon Factoid:
At the 1908 Olympic Games in London, the marathon distance was changed from 25 to 26 miles to cover the ground from Windsor Castle to White City stadium, with 385 yards added on so the race could finish in front of King Edward VII's royal box.

Some Strange Satie Facts
The French composer Erik Satie (1866-1925) gave his piano pieces some odd titles. For instance: "Flabby Preludes (for a Dog)" (1912) and "Three Pieces in the Shape of a Pear" (1903). His scores also contain instructions to the performers like "Light as an egg," "With astonishment," or "Work it out yourself."

Hypocritically
Crabbed and cantankerous
Moderate and very restless
Pianissimo, short of breath
With a lot of difficulty
Run!

cluttered desks
"If a cluttered desk signs a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign?"
—Albert Einstein
Uh-oh. I sort of have an empty desk. All clear and lovely. But the clutter is off to the side. Or pushed to the back. In a neat pile of clutter. So that's alright then. I think. Is it?
